Like a recurring bad rash that simply won't go away, the aftershocks of Barack Obama's calamitous Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) keep coming and with each aftershock, another layer of betrayal, deception and appeasement is exposed. The latest controversy centers on an allegation made by a high level Iranian official that the Obama administration, in an effort to appease the mullahs and close the Iran deal, granted citizenship or residency permits to 2,500 Iranian nationals some of whom were connected to the ruling mullah elite.

The bombshell allegation was leveled by hardline cleric Hojjat al-Islam Mojtaba Zolnour. Zolnour is no small-time slouch. He's chairman of Iran's parliamentary nuclear committee and a member of its national security and foreign affairs committee. He's also part of "Supreme Leader" Ali Khamenei's inner circle so presumably, he has some inside knowledge.
